Organization behavior refers to analysis of personal and group dynamics in their work place setting, and also the characteristics of the organization itself. This analysis is a necessity in comprehending how people will behave when subjected to the work environment. The results of the analysis are useful in taking care of the behaviors that may be unnecessary to the organization (Ashraf, n.d p156).
The individuals employed in an organization and the respective group attitude is a major factor that is used to evaluate the performance of the organization. Attitude demonstrates an individual’s preference towards: other people, occurrences, different objects, and activities that take place in his or her immediate surrounding or environment. The constant changing technological level has made it important for the analysis of workers attitude with reference to their daily activities, remunerations granted, advancing levels, and supervision in the organization. Any deviation of an employee’s attitude from normal affects the quality of service delivered depending on the area that the employee works (Rana, n.d).
Behavior variations in any organization take the form of conflict in most cases. This arises as a result of various competitions experienced in the organization. These competitions may be from individual persons or certain groups in the organization. The competition is basically directed towards gaining material resource, having a voice in decision making, command for a certain attention and status position.

Organizational Behavior, as defined in our text, is the study of human behavior in organizations (Schermerhorn, Hunt & Osborn, 2005, p. 17). How organizations behave within their ranks is in my opinion what truly can make them successful. The concepts of culture, diversity, communication, etc; need to be addressed so that employees can work well together and business can run smoothly.

Organizational behavior is defined as “the study of individuals and groups in organizations”. (Schermerhorn, Hunt, Osborn, 2003, p. 2) This definition helps us to better understand the organizational behavior which businesses practice on a day-to-day basis. At Centrix Financial, organizational behavior is helps managers implement new ideas. This is done by observing the changes which must be made in order to achieve a more productive and successful organization.
Applying concepts of organizational behavior to actual organizations helps managers to learn about its various theories. Four theories of interest that warrant additional consideration include organizational learning, personalities, work motivation

This research has asked us to look into three different styles of management and find real life examples of companies or individuals who have or are currently using such styles of management. To begin we will take a look into the use of an autocratic style of management versus a participative. In this portion we will look into Leona Helmsley and her chain of hotels. Once this potion is completed, our next section will be looking into a centralized style of management versus a decentralized style. In this section of the research, we will be looking into Apple Inc and how they have built an empire with a centralized style of managing philosophy. Finally, in the final section of the research we will be taking a look at how Google has created an informal environment in which employees have direct access to executives and have the ability to share thoughts and ideas that are taken serious and to the heart.

One of the main courses of this semester was to learn various organizational behaviors that are conducted in real business environment. By learning this course, we could understand our future colleagues and ourselves better. Throughout the semester, every week Ashley Hughes gave us an interesting lecture about different topics of oranisational behaviors. Along with the weekly lectures we also had a group presentation that gave us the opportunity to apply the lessons and techniques learnt in our professional and personal lives.During the course of this semester, Organizational Behavior has highlighted numerous topics, which concentrated on investigating the impact that individuals, groups and structures have on behavior within an organization and how their behaviour affect the performance of the organizations for the purpose of applying such technique towards improving an individual’s or an organization's working effectiveness (Jontymagicman, 2012). In this reflection paper, I will discuss the essential areas of organizational behavior: the influence of motivation, managing change and individual learning at an organization.
Organizational behavior is important to many organizations because it helps management understand their employees’ attitude as well as behavior while they interact with one and other at the work place. There are several aspects of organizational behavior and attitude is one that can hinder and help job performance. In the past, organizations were defined almost exclusively by the products produced or the services provided. This has changed a great deal over the years. They are now defined by the way they provide their products and services. Attitude plays a major role in and outside of the workplace as it does in most aspects in everyday life.
Organizational behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structures have on behavior within an organization for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving an organization’s effectiveness. Organizational behavior is dependent upon many variables. It incorporates many areas of study such as psychology, sociology and anthropology. These disciplines are important in trying to manage new and existing challenges in the workplace. Two examples of current workplace challenges are workplace diversity and the constant struggle to balance work life and home life.
